  Not overly advanced in colour but was very chill on opening and I thought on taste it had lost its finish , so wrong , it warmed up a treat , no sign of excess age on palate , remarkable longevity, cork was in good nick.
  Amazing wine.

  Magnum.
  Deep gold but not overly developed colour.
  Rich honey and floral fragrance. Clean and deeply fruited.
  Powerful but well balanced. Very pure and long. Has softened and is just in a perfect place right now.

  'Nothing but Chardonnay' dinner with Peter Rosback: Pop and pour. Deep colour. A big, rich bouquet, like the 2004, but with a funky, sous bois note I really liked. Rich and ripe on palate, with tropical and stonefruit flavours, particularly golden peaches and apricots. The oak was well integrated and there was a clear MLF element to the taste. Still decent acidity. Serious fruit weight, structure and length. Broad shouldered. Peter and I both preferred it to the 2004 (but I still rate the 2002 I had last year higher).
